Soil and groundwater pollution has become a global issue since the advent of industrialization and mechanized agriculture. Some contaminants such as PAHs may persist in the subsurface for decades and centuries. In a bid ...

Seit dem späten Pliozän / frühen Pleistozän stellt der Rhein als einer der größten europäischen Flüsse das einzige Entwässerungssystem dar, welches die Alpen mit der Nordsee verbindet. Auf seinem Verlauf von den Alpen bis ...

Aus den Ablagerungen der Yarimburgaz-Höhle werden zwei Kleinsäugerfaunen vorgelegt. Die sehr begrenzte Fauna aus dem älteren Sedimentationszyklus I enthält außer Arten, die auch heute noch in der weiteren Region verbreitet ...

Interactions between phytoplankton species shape their physiological and evolutionary responses. Yet, studies addressing the evolutionary responses of phytoplankton in changing environments often lack an explicit element ...

The dynamics of the Alps and surrounding regions is still not completely understood, partly because of a non‐unique interpretation of its upper‐mantle architecture. In particular, it is unclear if interpreted slabs are ...

On interannual to decadal time scales, memory in the Earth's climate system resides to a large extent in the slowly varying heat content of the ocean, which responds to fast atmospheric variability and in turn sets the ...

High‐pressure single‐crystal to 20 GPa and powder diffraction measurements to 50 GPa, show that the structure of Pb2SnO4 strongly distorts on compression with an elongation of one axis. A structural phase transition occurs ...

The spatiotemporal variability of precipitation is of vital importance to Mediterranean ecology and economy, but pre‐instrumental changes are not well understood. Here, we present a millennial‐length June–July precipitation ...

Pluvial flood risk is mostly excluded in urban flood risk assessment. However, the risk of pluvial flooding is a growing challenge with a projected increase of extreme rainstorms compounding with an ongoing global urbanization. ...
